Description

The Export-DnsServerZone cmdlet creates a file containing resource records for an Active Directory-integrated zone for troubleshooting purposes. This file is not in the same format as a file-backed zonefile. By default, the cmdlet places the file in the DNS directory.

Examples

Example 1: Export a zone

PS C:\> Export-DnsServerZone -Name "western.contoso.com" -FileName "exportedcontoso.com"

This command exports the zone named western.contoso.com to a file called exportedcontoso.com.
